On the first day of February, Chang Mansion, Chang An's room.
Chang An, who had a long beard on his face, slowly opened his eyes. There was no sadness or joy in his eyes, and he let out a long breath.
"drink!"
With a low cry, the air in the room became condensed, and a huge amount of internal energy surged around his body, like waves, one wave higher than the next, spreading outward, one foot, two feet, and when it was almost approaching the third foot, The waves were stagnant.
It seemed like there was a barrier in front of him, stopping the waves three feet in front of him.
No matter how hard the back wave pushes the front wave, the wave always stops three feet in front.
Chang An's face turned pale, and beads of sweat fell like rain.
After a moment, his brows relaxed, and a huge amount of internal energy suddenly dissipated. He panted violently. It took a long time for his breathing to calm down.
The three-foot Qi wall is the boundary between a Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster.
This is already the fifth time in the past three years that he has tried to challenge the Grand Master. All of them ended in failure, and this time is no exception.
He was not disappointed. It took him seven years to go from the Tonghe level to the Grandmaster level. This was done with the help of Yan Sihai's elixir. Now it was only three years, which was not enough to raise the level of internal strength to another level. , but he didn’t gain anything.
Now, his internal energy storage is getting closer and closer to that of the great master.
He stood up slowly. No matter what, he had to leave.
He walked out of the room and saw Chang Sheng holding a girl and standing there with a smile in the courtyard.
"elder brother."
Chang Sheng is already thirteen years old. She has grown into a tall and graceful girl. She still wears a light blue dress. Her face is not as round as when she was a child. Her long hair is flowing and she has a fairy-like look.
Chang An patted her forehead affectionately and looked at the girl next to her in confusion.
"Who is this?"
Chang Sheng smiled like a flower and said mischievously
"Brother, I have found good families for all the children I brought back, but she refuses to leave no matter what."
Chang An looked at the girl and saw that she was already eleven or twelve years old.
The girl was dressed in men's clothing, but with her waist-length ponytail and the unconcealed charm between her eyebrows, anyone could tell at a glance that she was a beautiful woman.
Chang An also felt happy when he saw the red phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and snow-white face.
Her every frown and smile seemed to make people's hearts sway.
"My name is Zhuang Xiuyu."
Just the accent of the words made Chang An jump out of his mind.
Sure enough, they were babies from those two villages.
"Why is your surname Zhuang? Shouldn't it be Yang or Shi?"
Chang An was confused.
Chang Sheng rushed to answer.
"Brother, her original name was Shi Erniu, but she later changed her name."
Chang An was even more confused as to why he wanted to change his name.
Zhuang Xiuyu said
"I want to follow Brother Chang and travel around the world."
Chang An smiles
"so what."
Zhuang Xiuyu scratched his head, raised his eyes slightly, and raised his right eyebrow as well, saying
"I felt that my name was not worthy of Brother Chang. If I told him, it would ruin Brother Chang's reputation, so I asked Blind Man Zhang on the street to give me a nice name."
Chang An was helpless and shook his head.
"Wandering around in the world is not that fun."
Zhuang Xiuyu smiled confidently, picked up an animal bone longbow from behind, and drew the longbow gracefully.
"I have learned archery."
Chang An looked a little worried. The long bow was almost longer than her...
"Why is this bow red?"
Zhuang Xiuyu said naively
"When I travel around the world in the future, I will tell people that this bow is dyed red with the blood of all the people I shot. It will make me look very impressive."
Chang An was speechless again.
At this time, Chang Sheng said again
"Brother, Lao Yan is here and has been waiting for you for a few days."
Chang An raised his eyebrows, thinking that this guy's feathers had been plucked, so he would be up to no good.
"Where are the others?"
Zhuang Xiuyu said with a look of disgust
"It's in the living room. He keeps poisonous insects in the house all day long. Brother Chang, look at it. He's poisoned a lot of the flowers in the yard."
Only then did Chang An realize that the yard had become a lot more depressed.
I secretly thought about how to get rid of him as soon as possible, so as not to bring trouble to the whole family.
sidewalk
"I gonna go see."
Chang An came to the living room and saw Old God Yan Sihai sitting there, drinking tea and playing with the poisonous snake in his hand.
Suddenly I felt a chill.
Yan Sihai felt someone coming in, turned around and looked overjoyed, smiled flatteringly, and ran all the way to Chang An's side.
"Xiao Chang, long time no see."
Chang An rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.
"The miracle doctor came to the humble house to give you some advice."
The flattery on Yan Sihai's face became even stronger, and he said with some embarrassment
"Xiao Chang, I want to ask you for a favor."
Chang An glanced sideways
"Just tell me."
Yan Sihai's face straightened and suddenly became serious.
"Have you ever heard of Beiyan and Nanliang?"
Chang An thought for a while and said
"Well, Bei Yan is your ghost doctor Yan Sihai, Nan Liang, known as the skilled craftsman Liang Gong. Everyone in the world knows that something happened to Nan Liang."
Yan Sihai nodded, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Chang An. Chang An read the letter and listened to Yan Sihai's sermon.
"Gong Liang has been a friend of mine for many years. Last month, I suddenly received a letter from him. I felt something was wrong at that time. After I received the letter, I went to Fengzhou to look for him. There was no one at home."
Chang An frowned, looked at the contents of the letter, and said
"The letter mentioned that his son had been kidnapped. He only said that he was going to look for the child. Something might have happened to him."
Yan Sihai handed him a box.
Chang An opened the box in confusion. There was half a silk book inside, with a incomplete map drawn on it, but he couldn't tell where it was.
"What is this? A treasure map?"
Yan Sihai shook his head
"I don't know. Liang Gong showed it to me once before. This is his treasure. It has been kept in a mechanism designed by himself. But this time, I went to his house. No one was there. The box was so arrogant. on the table.”
Chang An said
"Do you think this is a hint from him?"
Yan Sihai nodded.
"No one in the world can solve the mechanism he set up, except himself. Since he wrote this letter, he expected that I would go find him. When I see the box, I will know that something happened to him."
Chang An said
"You want me to help you find him?"
Yan Sihai Road
"Not only are we looking for him, but I also hope you can help find his children."
Chang An was silent for a long time and nodded.
"What's the child's name?"
Yan Sihai Road
"Liang Yi, he should be two years old this year."
Chang An was surprised for a while
"This Liang Gong's child is only two years old? Then he..."
Yan Sihai slapped him on the head
"What are you thinking about? He is only in his thirties. Do you think Liang Gong is an old man like me?"
Chang An sneers
"Sorry, you said he was your friend for many years, so I thought..."
Yan Sihai looked at him disdainfully,
"You are also my good friend, aren't you old?"
Chang On Road
"You have to give me some clues, an unknown picture, and tell me where to find them."
Yan Sihai said
"If there were any clues, I would look for them myself. Why should I look for you? After the Battle of the Sword God, the whole world knew that you, Young Master Chang, were unparalleled in wisdom and bravery. He was the best in the world. He was handsome, charming, and one of the best among men. Like this This small matter of searching for a person is just a matter of shaking your fingers, so what clues are needed."
Chang An listened to Yan Sihai's flattery with a look of enjoyment and waved his hands with satisfaction.
"I'm not as perfect as people say. Lao Yan, we have to be humble and not show off. But as for the missing person, I will do it for you. Why are we good friends?"
Yan Sihai cursed, "You brat, I'll make you proud for two days, and I'll test the medicine on you sooner or later."
"no!"
At this time, the woman's angry scolding came in, and Zhuang Xiuyu walked in supporting Lin Xinyue.
Lin Xinyue looked at Yan Sihai and Chang An with an angry face.
"I won't stop you from going out this time, but you have to get married first!"
There was silence in the living room, Chang An stared at Lin Xinyue dumbfounded.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Before Lin Xinyue could speak, Zhuang Xiuyu spoke first.
"Brother Chang, if you want to go out, I want to go with you!"
Lin Xinyue patted Zhuang Xiuyu's hand,
"Xiaoyu, what are you messing around with?"
Zhuang Xiuyu frowned, and her two big eyes immediately became watery and indescribably charming.
The words in her mouth were extremely inconsistent with her appearance.
"I'm going. I'm going to brave the world with Brother Chang. Madam, look at my muscles."
As she spoke, she really showed off her snow-white arms, wanting to show off her muscles to Lin Xinyue.
Lin Xinyue looked at Zhuang Xiuyu's appearance with a complicated expression.
I murmured for a while, what a good girl, if she didn't behave like a man, she would be a good match for An'er, and it would save me the trouble of searching for An'er's match all over the world.
Chang An felt dizzy for a while, what was going on?
"Mom, please stop making trouble, I have something serious to do."
Unexpectedly, Lin Xinyue refused to give in. She took out a greeting note from her sleeve and threw it in his face.
"This is from the Chu Family Villa. They want to marry our Chang family. I heard that the eldest lady of the Chu Family Villa is the most beautiful woman in the world. She is seventeen years old. If you have important things to do, I won't stop you. , but you have to get married first before leaving!"
Chang An opened it and took a look.
I heard that the head of the Chang family, Chang An, was a suave and young hero. Today, in Chu's villa, there was a girl called Guanyu, who was seventeen years old and wanted to marry the Chang family for a hundred years.
Chang An took a breath, and Yan Sihai patted Chang An on the shoulder.
"Xiao Chang, you are about to get married. You have to do what you promised me as soon as possible. Human lives are at stake."
At this moment, a dart came from outside the living room. Chang An had quick eyes and quick hands to catch the dart.
A slender black figure walked away gracefully. Chang An ran out of the living room at high speed and jumped up to a high place.
Chang An looked solemn as he watched the black figure leaping between the rooftops.
The man was extremely skilled in qinggong and was eavesdropping outside the living room. Chang An only had a vague sense of it, but mistakenly thought it was Lin Xinyue and Zhuang Xiuyu who had just come in.
Only then did he realize that his perception was correct, but it was too late. Chang An thought that his Qinggong was not bad, but the man who had taken the first step would probably not be able to catch up.
Chang An returned to the living room, and there was a note on the dart.
The note says
: Head of the Chang family, we will speak outside the North City at midnight tonight.
